Toast API

The Toast API displays a non-disruptive message that appears at the bottom of the interface to provide quick and short feedback on the outcome of an action. This API is modeled after the Web Notification API.

Error notification: Display non-blocking error messages when operations fail.

Examples

Description
Show a basic toast. This example displays a minimal toast notification with only a message string. Use this for simple confirmations like saving a product, sending a message, or completing a quick action.
js
```
shopify.toast.show('Message sent');
```
Description
Set a custom duration. This example displays a toast with a custom `duration` option set to 5000 milliseconds. Use this when the default display time is too short for the message content, such as longer confirmation messages or status updates that merchants need more time to read.
js
```
shopify.toast.show('Product saved', {
  duration: 5000,
});
```
Description
Add an action button. This example displays a toast with an `action` label and an `onAction` callback. Use this to offer an undo option after destructive actions, a retry option after failed operations, or a navigation shortcut to view the result of a completed action.
js
```
shopify.toast.show('Product saved', {
  action: 'Undo',
  onAction: () => {}, // Undo logic
});
```
Description
Handle dismiss. This example displays a toast with an `onDismiss` callback that fires when the toast is closed. Use this to trigger follow-up logic after the notification disappears, such as refreshing data, logging analytics events, or advancing a multi-step workflow.
js
```
shopify.toast.show('Product saved', {
  onDismiss: () => {}, // Dismiss logic
});
```
